The Initiative to Split Bet Shemesh Moves Forward This Week

By Gldmeier @gldmeier
Local reports have announced that MK Miri Regev (Likud) will be coming to Bet Shemesh this coming Sunday.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, is the day Minister Gideon Saar is set to meet with the 9 city councilmen from the Opposition in Bet Shemesh to discuss the issues of dividing Bet Shemesh into two cities.
Regev has expressed her commitment to helping in the struggle to divide the city.
I guess regular work does not take a backseat even when there is a quasi-war going on...
It does seem funny to me to not put this fight on hold for a bit. At a time when the nation needs to stay as united as possible, and for the most part has, it seems like a bad decision to move forward now on an issue that will be very divisive.
